Skills
Do you believe in delivering dynamic HR services and doing things differently to achieve great impact on your organisation?
We are looking for a forward-thinking seasoned Human Resources (HR) professional who can challenge the status quo and understands the complexities of HR operations in a very large organisation.
We are gearing up for Local Government Reorganisation and doing things differently will mean modernising everything that we do and everything that we deliver and truly putting people at the heart of our organisation. This role is not just an ordinary Head of HR Operations, you will be a key member of the HR leadership team and exposed to decision making at the highest levels of the organisation.
You will shape and influence the strategic focus and provide insights into HR operations to become an effective partner to the organisation. Working alongside the HR Director you will ensure that HR solutions are recognised as modern, effective and innovative.
Your effective coaching and mentoring style will ensure that your team can learn from the breadth of your experience. The scale of this role cannot be underestimated, with a very busy recruitment team, building new systems and processes, driving both the use of AI and data and insights, dashboards and reporting as well as establishing an effective help desk - all with a focus on driving manager self-service to be fit for the future.
Your insights into the effective management and delivery of employee relations will ensure that our people are supported, understand what is required of them and our managers lead with a focus on getting the best from our employees. This means thinking differently about our approach to employee relations, ensuring that mediation and informal resolution are used effectively to help build trust and positive working relationships.
